The Golden State Warriors may regret passing on Bol Bol
By Adam Serpant
Conclusion
The picks are in, however, and the Warriors chose farming over mining for gold. It is a safe choice for sure, and one that could produce dependable results In a few years’ time.
Jordan Poole is a nice shooter with impressive ball handling, Smailagic is someone the Dubs have been high on for some time now, and lofty (albeit premature) comparisons have been made between Paschall and Draymond Green.
This will not be easy work, though. As is the case with any crop, these draft picks are not guaranteed to provide a fruitful harvest, and the Warriors’ front office will be praying to the basketball gods that there are not yet more storms brewing on the horizon for them.
They also better pray that Bol Bol does not follow through on his wishes to “prove everyone wrong” in the Mile-High City, and it is now up to Denver to see if they can harness the power of their newest Nugget.
